With the new Dimensity 1050 SoC platform, MediaTek launches its first 5G processor with an integrated modem supporting mmWave and Sub-6 5G. As a result, users will experience higher average 5G performance with potentially exceptional speed spikes when a mmWave base station is in sight. In the US, many are installed in stadiums and other high-traffic venues. Over time, their density will increase.
The sub-6GHz spectrum enjoys much wider network coverage, albeit at slower speeds than mmWave, but it’s still faster than 4G. The Dimensity 1050 can seamlessly switch between different spectrums depending on network conditions.
Indoors, this processor supports WiFi 6E and should offer fast and low-latency connectivity. If anything, many users’ home internet won’t be fast enough to take full advantage of the Dimensity 1050’s capabilities. Gamers might be the main beneficiaries of WiFi 6E, but the average experience is far above previous generations.
Computationally, this is a chip destined for the mid-range market, with an 8-core CPU (2 power, 6 efficient cores) and a Mali G610 MC3 graphics unit driving a 1080P 144Hz display can.
It benefits from some advanced imaging hardware introduced with the Dimensity 9000, but with a smaller scope of performance due to its size, process node (6nm) and transistor count. From the specs, it appears that MediaTek has set it to be competitive and set to release en masse from Q3 2022.
